    I'm not one to bitch about formats all that much... but I do find the new format/text/etc a more distracting or confusing layout than before. It all seems to run together. The font sizing seems off, which makes the layout look more jumbled than organized.
    I understand rolling out to a new system/format - but I think there can be a few improvements still. Hopefully the 'beta' version will get revised before finalized.
    My $.02.

    Format is fine. Font sucks. Borderline unreadable.

    Is helvetica neue offending to anyone? Proxima nova is fine for headings, not very readable white on a dark background.

    Agree. Who selected, tested, and approved the font? It is very difficult to read more than a handful of posts.

    x4 on the font. The layout is fine but the text seems to run together.

    another not-fan-of-the-font here. seems to me a sans-serif would make things way more readable.

    My problem with the font is its weight. It's just too thin. Some lines seem to disappear.

    In a rare turn of events, it seems like the mobile app works better than the desktop one.

    how many people who are having issues with the new font are running Chrome on a Windows machine?

    At a rough guess many hundreds of millions.....

    Although some of them may not have visited your redesigned website.

    Yet.

    As a cure it's probably an uphill battle?

    Perhaps you'd be more comfortable on epicski or Paula's Ski Lovers, AltaNancy.

    Amazing. I'm reading the first page of new posts in a serif font. I go to page 2 and it's now magically changed to sans serif. WAY better. WAYWAYWAY.

    Can we do something about the new spacing? Everything is too spread apart. The line spacing I guess it is, and maybe the font size.
    No longer stuck.

    Logging the spacing/font issues. We're clearly seeing a pretty broad variety in people's font experiences and will be addressing it next week.

    Figured out what was going on with mine and causing the different font appearances.

    I'm using Safari with the following privacy enhancing extensions:
    Adblock
    Cookie Stumbler
    Ghostery
    Facebook, Google and Twitter Disconnect
    Collusion

    When I disable those extensions I see the site in blue in sans-serif. With the extensions running I see it in blue in a serif font. Obviously it would be nice not to have to disable everything to make the site readable.

    Yah. Finally got a chance to look at the new format on a computer instead of Tapatalk.

    The new format is fucking horible, in every conceivable way.

    I'm not averse to change, but this is a horrible, unreadable, mind and eye straining mess.

    Yes. Things are a bit more condensed.
